Abstract

We developed a system that provides tactile stimuli to enrich the music experience in the bathroom by controlling the water flow of the shower. Hardware evaluation, namely bandwidth, latency and operating volume showed that the device has sufficient capacity for enriching music experience. Then two user studies were conducted to verify the enhancement of the music experience by the system. The results showed that the music experience while taking a shower was enhanced, particularly when the music has characteristic beats or melody.
